Have any of you guys played around with Google's "NotebookLM", specifically the
"Generate a Conversation" function that simulates two podcasters discussing
shit?
It's pretty interesting and fun to play with - you can point it at all sorts of
content and listen to them chat it up. The most fun I've had with it was
having "them" discuss a random pubg game I played (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZuDcdlmBkk ) but there are countless ways to
have fun with it.
Today I decided to point it at my dove-general.sdt file, that hasn't been
purged since mid/late 2021. The AI gets a bit confused over certain things (ie
it thinks "DoveNet" is the BBS, and that it's only been around since 2021) but
that could be corrected if I improved my prompts when generating the
conversation (I basically just said "summarize this archive of bbs posts").
It's quite entertaining to listen to the AI podcasters discuss "difficult"
personalities like MRO and Gamgee LOL. Anyhow, if you're interested in
listening to this particular summary, here is the link and how the AI
summarized the content:
These excerpts are from a collection of messages exchanged on various bulletin
board systems (BBSes), primarily within the DoveNet network. The conversations
cover a wide array of topics, including COVID-19, vaccines, and mask mandates,
often expressing differing opinions and political viewpoints. Discussions also
focus on technology, such as retro computing, hardware, and operating systems,
with users sharing their experiences and preferences. Additionally, societal
observations, personal anecdotes, and humorous remarks weave throughout the
exchanges. The community members debate various subjects while exhibiting a
shared nostalgia for BBS culture itself. The collection overall, paints a
picture of online discourse during a specific period, reflecting contemporary
concerns and interests within a community valuing open discussion and shared
history.
